Some great summer rates at SPG Properties in Boston

If you’re planning to go on a driving trip this summer, you might want to grab yourself a Mobil/Exxon Speedpass and link your Mastercard to save 10 cents per gallon on up to 100 gallons! If you link your Chase Freedom Mastercard, you’ll also get 5 points per dollar from July 1 to Sept. 31!

Turkish Airlines is having a sale with flights from the US to Istanbul as low as $525 total roundtrip. Travel period is October 20 through December 10.

You can get 15% off a roundtrip Wanna Get Away fare from Southwest with a $20 purchase from World Market.

There is a limited time (June 26) offer for a 75,000 point bonus for the American Express Business Gold card. There is a $10,000 minimum spend within 4 months, however. Also, you can get this bonus as long as you haven’t had the Business Gold, Green or Platinum Cards within the last 12 months!

Loyalty Traveler has a post explaining that you can get elite night and stay credits on up to three different rooms per stay/night with Starwood, which will make qualifying for elite status that much easier.

The Points Guy is giving a lot of stuff away including 10,000 Ultimate Rewards points!

If you were thinking of using the netSpend Mastercard prepaid card, you might want to read this post of the Frequent Miler’s about account closures. Tread carefully with this one.

Here is this week’s Top 20 from Travel Zoo!

Yesterday’s Winner of the $50 cash from TopCashback is Jane with the tip Since I like to cruise, I do not want to be constantly checking the cruise website to see if my fare has gone down. I simply go to www.cruisefish.net and for $1, they will monitor my sailing for price drops. We’ve seen solutions to monitor prices for other travel options but now we’ve got one for cruises. I’d love feedback that anyone else has too. Jane, please email rick@frugaltravelguy.com so we can get you your cashback.

Thanks to everyone that submitted a deal / tip, keep them coming!

AA is having a worldwide Fall travel sale, with fares from $60. I found a flight roundtrip SFO to PIT for $280 for my brother’s wedding, which is the cheapest I’ve ever seen!

If you collect Coke rewards points, you can redeem 100 My Coke Rewards for a Southwest $20 off a r/t coupon. There are a couple of Hertz discounts on there too you can redeem points for, but I don’t find them as lucrative as the $20 off a r/t Southwest ticket.

I’ve read about people using the 5X Chase bonus on Gift cards, but at my local Safeway (which I think is the equivalent of a Vons?) they have 4X gas rewards on the G/C purchase (see terms & conditions) so for every $250 in Gift cards you’ll get $1.00 off per gallon up to 30 gallons. While this isn’t a barn burner deal, it’s still nice to get $30 off a 30 gallon purchase.(We usually take our two cars up at once) I tend to get $500 – $750 during these promotions (typically AS Gift Cards).
Try to time it for the 1st or 2nd of the month and they’ll be good until the end of the following month, potentially give you up to 60 days to redeem.

Starwood has a great Canada Day Sale. They claim its the biggest sale they will have all summer in Canada. http://starwoodpromos.com/canadaday/ While the weather is hot here, it might be cooler up there.

Hello,
Did you already tested the southwest 15% discount coupon from CostPlus World Market’s receipts?

Can I apply the discount for a whole itinerary?
Are there any restrictions on using this coupon? Could you let me know, please?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Wow I never knew you could apply for two Chase cards on the same day (And get approved) .. I thought Chase was one of those issuers that wouldn’t approve two cards in the same day. Nice to know.
